  Speaker 1: don't have to say pause for that, do I No, Yes,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I'm yankeed out with my hat on my head like
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Memphis bleak. I'm from Brooklyn. What do you want? You
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I don't dress like this all
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the time, but I'm just saying today I felt like
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: being that way. I'm a big sports fan. What do
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you want? All right? But again, there's a lot of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: content coming to the Channel, one in particular coming very soon.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I'm currently reading the book High and Rising by author
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Marcus J. Moore, and it's about the history of Daylas Soul,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: but it's the history of Daylas Soul paralleled with his
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: life as a hip hop fan, something similar to what
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I've done with my book, even though my book it's
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: probably dwells more on me and hip hop as opposed
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to me telling the story him telling the story of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Dayla Soul. And they're placing hip hop and how some
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: fans related to them, good, bad, or indifferent. It's very
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: interesting and I'm going to have an interview with the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: author very soon to States for that and also for you,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: just so we can get all dayled out on hip hop. Now,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I am going to do a tearless of Daylight albums
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: because guess what I ain't I haven't heard them all. Nope,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I've heard the ones Steaks Is High, three Feet High
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and Rising day Le Sos Dead, you know, grind Date,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: but I haven't heard all the albums. So what I'm
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: going to do, and I'm working my way through now, is,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you know, listen to all these albums again and then
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go and make a video say where
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: they ranked. And if you haven't watched me do those
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: things before, check them out. I got a couple. I
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: got Ray Kwan's Desography, ghost Face Jay and Nice Common
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Snoop Dog Eminem. The list goes on and on and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the new one will be Daylight Soul coming up very soon.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So with that being said, big shout out to hip
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: HOPDX dot com. And we're gonna keep it short hip
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: hop Twitter because we're gonna talk about it later. Let's
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: get into it the same. So Fifty's done some recent
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: interviews and you know he I liked fifties interviews because
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: he gives the interview ers things that make it interesting,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: like he's not always going to each interview and saying
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the exact same thing and being completely measured in how
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: he answered. He typically if you ask him a certain question,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: he'll probably just tell you what it is. You know
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because he doesn't seem every everything is imprecious.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: But fifty Cent, some of it is content and intrigue,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and it's the reason why we're talking about it. But
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: in a recent interview, he said that the mass Psaca
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: was a different album from what we got and me
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: in particular, And I'll tell you my feelings on the Massacre.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: This was interesting because I didn't like it at all.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I like songs, but I didn't like it at all.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: But let's see what fifty said. This is on Hip
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Hop dx dot com. Fifty Cent claims The Massacre was
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: originally a very different album, So let's see. Fifty Cent
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: has claimed that his second album, The Massacre, was originally
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: intended to be a very different be very different to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the version ultimately released. Speaking on stage at United Masters
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Select car On fifth revealed that The Massacre underwent a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: significant change after songs intended for the album were given
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to the game and his his some quotes from it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Fifty Cent says The Massacre was meant to be an
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: album about imperfections. Instead, it led to being a more
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: sexual album because he gave the original singles hated love
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: It and how we do to the game? Do you think,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and this is a question, do you guys think the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Massacre would have been a better received album? Here's fifty
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: saying and let's say if we can get it in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the microtefer nah nah na hold like, yeah, here's a
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: family show. Yeah, I can't be cussing, but truth be told,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I gave you the gist of what it is and
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: what he did. I totally agree with fifty cent. I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: think if you take what's there, like what's the Joint?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Baltimore love Story and uh and a couple of the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: songs that I actually did like on that album, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: you take off the songs that were like I didn't
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: like Candy Shop, but I got it. It was kind
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of like trying to recapture a vibe that was in
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the club. I don't think I would have minded as
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: much if there were more records. I liked about that album,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: but I don't really like Games the documentary because of
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: all the name dropping. But I loved his songs with
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: fifty like I loved them Joints and if you take
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: them two songs and put it on there. I think
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Ski met this Way was on hold on, let's just
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: get to the album so I could stop winging it
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: because we live in a time of technology where I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: could just bring it up right now. I ain't gotta
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: go in the kitchen and yo, let me let me go.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know when my CDs be in the kitchen,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: but let me just go and get it. So the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Massacre of his sophomore album, his follow up to Get
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Richard I Trian for those who don't know, was released
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and five. Right, songs like Piggy Bank,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: which was a diss record, you know I liked it.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: It was fun that Gatman and Robin with Eminem was
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: always whacked in me. Candy Shop was whatever. Ski mass Way,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the one I loved, a Baltimore love thing was dope.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: But then he had songs like Disco Inferno. I think
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: my Toy Soldier was dope if I can remember, and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: position of power. So the joints on this album, and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: who knows what would have been taken off right, Like
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you got a song called Disco Inferno that might not
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: even been on that album. The album probably would have
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: been way more focused and sometimes when you got to
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: make a shift because some of the content is like
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: like with nas and I Am, the biography, a good
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: portion of what that album was was leaked, so they
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: had to use songs to me that were lesser that
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: appeared on I Am and I Am is not really
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a whack album, it's an okay album, but they were
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: better songs meant for that album. And Nasa Damis was
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: just like a train wreck to me. It was really
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: only two records on there, but they were better records
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: that leaked that they didn't put on an album. So
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I would have to take fifty at his word of
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: his sophomore album would have been way better received had
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it not only contained those hits, but he removed those
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: songs that gave it the more sexual joint. Right, Like
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: if he's saying if the second album was about imperfections
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and then he had to make it more of a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: sexual album, well then maybe Candy Shop is not even
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: on there, right because Candy Shop is clearly a sexual album,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I mean a sexual type song. So I mean history happened,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: it happened the way it did. I wasn't big on
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: that album at all at the time. I know there's
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: some people who love it for what it is, but
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it was such a nosedive from Get Richard Doe Trying.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: See the different is for those who are quick to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: think like, oh, I got it, sir, you just wanted
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: it to be that. No. Critical thinking skills is a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: real thing. You probably don't know what it means. But
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: let me tell you, never did I expect his sophomore album.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: That's impossible to meet. The success and the impact of
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Get Richard Dye Trying That was lightning in a bottle.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: No way he could do that again. He would be
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: one of the best ever to do that. No one
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: who's had well, he got the Stevie Wonder I'm saying
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Stevie Wonder he did that about four or five times
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: in the seventies, but that's an anomaly fifty When you
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: think about those singles, those singles were huge for the game.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Those would have did way more for his follow up
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: than what we got right, especially if the tone is
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: about imperfections instead of the cheesy as what we do
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the Gandi job. I kind of like that beat ain't
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: on front, you know, And I was in the club
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: still a little bit back then, So it is what
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it is it happened, but who knows? We got what
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: we got next since I changed all kinds of pages
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and stuff. So I promise y'all. Anytime I see Drake
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: versus Kendrick in anybody's video, title, news story, whatever, I
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: don't care. If it's the smallest thing, I'm out. I'm
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: out fan because the time to be buried in that
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: battle was months ago. The last song, the last call
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: for alcohol was not like us. It just was. So
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: now we're on the other side of it, right, No
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: round tubes, none of that. It happened. You know, it's crazy.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: But there's going to be awards for the song. There's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: going to be the super Bowl. Maybe Kendrake doesn't even
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: do anything Drake wise, and at that point I don't
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: think he should. You'll be approaching a year of this, right,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go down that road again, and
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: it needed does the ovihost. But Skepta, who I'm not
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: necessarily a fan of, not because I don't like him,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: It's just because I don't really check for his music.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: But he's worked with Drake and I've liked what, you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: what they've done. He did an interview recently. I believe
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: with Ebro talking about how the Drake and Kendrick battle
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: was bad for business, and he specifically pointed out what
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Kendrick was saying being bad for business, not what Drake
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: was saying. Now whe Drake started saying it was bad
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: for business, right, let me see if I could find
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a quote when I was clashing. We never had nothing
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to lose. You can call me anything in the world.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lose a Nike deal. I'm not gonna
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna not be able to put food on
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: my table. That'll probably get me even more money because
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: we'll go to the show and do the class on stage,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and more people are paying. It's helping us. What they're
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: doing is hurting what we've built, is hurting what we've
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: all built this whole time. If you two don't like
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: each other, just link up and just talk, or just
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: don't speak to each other. But all the stuff you're
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: saying to each other for the rest of everyone else's
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: everyone else who's waiting in line for the doors that
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you've kicked open. These doors are shutting on us right now. Bro,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: We're looking crazy out here. That's why I didn't like that.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: It was good until it sounded crazy. I don't disagree
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: with him in a general sense. If it's about business
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and entertainment and a friendly fade, remember that phrase, then
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: it's all good. Right, that's what you tell That's what
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: you tell, Nike, Hey, battling is a part of hip hop.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Me and these guys are the two biggest artists. We
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: have agreed businesswise to spar each other to see who's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the best. Spa competitive because that's what hip hop is.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: That's what's at the core of hip hop. I don't
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: disagree with any of that. But the minute in Kendrick Warndon,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the minute Drake started saying Andrew's wife name, you know,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: accusing him of abusing her and not being together and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: saying his son is that? All these little things and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: some of it came later as a response, but Drake
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: was the one that took it to the personals. Now,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: if you watch battle rap, right, you can see two
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: battlers who you know, two battle rappers who are displaying skill,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and that's how they are competing. Right, I'm just better
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: at this than you are. And then there are the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: battle raps where it's personal. Your pops is a snitch,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I got the paperwork. But it's fair game for battle rap,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: battling and hip hop. It's greed upon to take personals.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's expected depending on the opponent, like, Yo, he
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: might go personal, so I got this for him. Your
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: baby Moms was in the okay, but those are battle
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: rappers and maybe some of them don't have naked deals.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: But the biggest star in the battle was the one
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: who started the personals. And Kendrick said on Euphoria, don't
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: tell no lies about me, won't tell no troops about you, right,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: he said. We tried to keep it a family fade,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: a family fait, a friendly fade, but you mentioned my
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: family's name, so skeptic, where were you when the homie
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: was was going there, when the homie was using Pox's voice,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and Pax of State had to say, hey, yo, what
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you're doing fair? You think we're gonna let you disrespect
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Parkning like it was Drake doing that. So just because
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: you wound up in the loser's bracket, it can't be
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: about business now because guess what, Kendrick ain't losing no business.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: So how was the battle a bad thing? The battle
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: is bad for Drake because it pointed out who he
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: was as a person. That's the problem, a lifelong battle
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: with yourself. These bars from Kendrick don't have to be
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: mind blowing. What makes a mind blowing is they're true.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: That's how he lost. To push your tea while you
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: hid in that boy, we all was like what what boy?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Oh he got uh he has a son, right and
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: then now he is oh, happy birthday son, blah blah
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: bh like, yeah, thank you, push your tea. Border Patrol
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: has lifted the sanctions, so sure you can come through
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: in spensive times with his box. Okay, So the sore
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: loserness fans, I get it. You love an artist. I
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: feel you, man, you don't want to see him lose.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Even if they lose. You know they lose, you lost.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: You don't even care. When Mike Tastle got knocked out
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: for the first time, man, I was coming up with
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: all excuses, even though there was a ten count when
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: he not that ain't no excuse. Go watch it. Ten
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: count busin Douglas was down for ten they let him out.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: But guess what. Mike Tyson lost anyway, So it doesn't
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: matter if the ref missed a holden call. It's almost
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a part of the sport, and then when you start
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the personals, well, you're allowing the other person to get personal.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: And if you didn't want to be seen in that light,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't be out here battling. You shouldn't be out
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: here pumping your chest. Yo. You shouldn't be out here
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: looking for dirt on other people when your dirt is
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: so easy to track down. Drake made it bad for business.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: You're losing money and deals because of him. Drake was
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: supposed to ignore Kendrick the dog. I'm so successful, I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: don't see you. But to Drake's credit, he is a
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: hip hop fan, right, and he ain't ducked no battles,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: so he was witted. So if he was witted enough
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and confident enough to engage and engage in a way
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: he did early, then you can't be now. You can't
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: be mad now that it didn't really turn out in
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: your favor. This is this is historical. I'm not historical,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: but these are things that happen throughout the history of
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: hip hop where there's somebody who's a presumed king and
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: they get dethroned, whether it's naturally through you know, people
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: just don't like their music no more. Now they're like
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: this person, or you know your rival, like fifty cent
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: and jar Ru fifty making ja Ru look like he's
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: a corny dude, when people like ja Ru before fifty cent, right,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: or in cases where fifty cent thought he could do
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: it to any rapper. And Rick Ross was a teflon dog.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: He had his biggest hits when fifty cent was like
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Officer Ricky, people didn't care. So if you're gonna play
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the game of chess, you better be good at it.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: You can't be overconfident. You have to be smart. And
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: it's terrible to blame not just Kendrick, but to blame
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the battle on that because the rules were set friendly fade,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: but then somebody wanted to turn it into more than that.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: And now here we are, and he's up here with
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the duck lips and forty grown men with the same
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Oviho hoodie in the mall. Trying to look tough is
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: not gonna make us feel like he won that battle.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: And all those things didn't happen. And more importantly, you
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: never addressed being a pedophile, because you addressed it in
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: one way and it was bad. Never say if I
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: was a bet, why ain't had us, Oh, well, maybe
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: we need to seize your computers Jack if he was right.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: So again, I thought it was interesting to talk about
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: because at least Skeptic was coming from a different place
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: with it. Right. He was just saying he don't like
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: none of it. But if you watch the video, his
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: examples of not liking and no pun intended. Was not
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: like us, but his examples of not liking it come
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: from him thinking. Kendrick was saying some things. That's messing
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: up the money. But yo, you messy or you not
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: right what you're doing? Ken, you don't say anything. There's
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: videos of Drake being really weird with minors. So not
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: his son, but you know what I'm talking about. Go
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: watch some of the videos. And I don't want to
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: hear nothing. Oh he was young, now he was on stage. No,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: he was a man. So there you have it. What
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: do you think about what Skeptic had said? Obviously I
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: read some of his quotes, but go watch the video.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: See what he's saying. Look at his body language. Ebro
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: was kind of doing the chameleon stuff. I could tell
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: he kind of wanted to go there, but didn't I
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: get it. But again, if if you're you should always
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: be concerned about business. Make those decisions beforehand, not after,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: because like I said, business looks like maybe it's bad
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: for you guys, but businesses looking like it's very good
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: for Kendrick Lamar. And that's saying a lot. It's not
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the battle, it's the boy. And lastly, so I know
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: we'dn't been down this road several times some of y'all
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: who listen or not even on Twitter, so you could
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: care less. Some of y'all call it some of y'all
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: still call it Twitter. I have been a part of
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the Twitter social media platform since probably either two thousand
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and eight or two thousand and nine, right. I was
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: an early adopter. And one of the things I liked
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: about it over Facebook because Facebook was it back then,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: you know, Instagram was still more so like a Flicker competitor.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: What it was about photography, and that was part of
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the reason why I joined originally because I like to
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: take pictures. Then it changed into something else, but like
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Twitter changed into something else. But my early days when
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I had a you know, I had like what seventy
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: something followers, what I liked about it was I would
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: go there and tweet while sporting events were on, and
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I noticed there were other people like me who I
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: became friends with online, some of which I met in person,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: tweeting about sports and what I liked more than that.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: It wasn't just oh, you know, they tweet when the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: football's game is on like I do, right, No, they
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: would tweeting footballs on, they would tweet when basketballs on.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Some of them are watching boxing, And it was a
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: way for me to have a timeline to kind of
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: have access to other sports fans, but also sports news. Eventually,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: and as time progressed, and especially as I started to
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: do the podcasting part because I had a blog around
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that time, but especially when I got heavy on the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: podcasting and started appearing on other people's podcasts, then more
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: of the hip hop people would find me right on Twitter.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: So now my feed became this mix of hip hop
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and Twitter right and I would comment and share and
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: do stuff about both because those were my biggest interests,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: rights and sports. Sometimes I kid you not, I'm a
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: bigger sports fan than I'm a music fan, but I'm
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: equally crazy about both, and so that was pretty cool
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: to kind of have a timeline. You know, all my
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: interests are there and as changes started before Elon Musk
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: took it over, I found like I needed with Facebook
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: al so I need to pay attention to the terms
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: of usage for these apps and really the settings so
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: I could keep that experience that I had. So they was.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't make a business of blocking a
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: bunch of people. I really didn't block anybody except for
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: one person, and he's going to be the president. But
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: it wasn't really about me, like hateing that guy, so
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I don't want to see him. I just wanted my
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: timeline to remain pure. I wanted it to only have
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: my interests. The only reason why I'm here. I go
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: to other places for policy. I go to other places
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: to look at a bunch of cars, or if I
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: want to look at some puppies, I might watch a
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: video or whatever. But I wanted my timeline to remain
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: hip hop in sports, and I would tweak my settence
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: every time they would make a change and I'm seeing
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: things I don't want to see, I would tweak it.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Even the ads. This ad is popping up and it's
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: annoying and it's nothing that I would even want to
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: scroll pass. I'll block that ad. So I'm constantly, you know,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: curating my timeline with the people I follow, keeping things
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: that they may like that I don't like off my page.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Like you know, if you like to see people cooking
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: dogs because you think it's crazy that people eat dogs,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: that's cool, but I don't want to see that. Fan.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: If you like watching fights all the time, you know
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I might look at one quick fight,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: like two bums or whatever, but I don't want to
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: see that all the time. If you like staring at
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: bbls all the time, I might look too, but I
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: don't want to see it all the time. I want
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: to open my feed on any platform and see the
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: things that most interest me, and they're like video games
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: and sports and music and hip hop. So I said
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: all I have to say. When it came to hip
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: hop you know, there was a thing that was hip
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: hop Twitter. I even did a podcast called hip Hop
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Twitter about hot takes that other people would see that
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't see because I was spending less time on
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Twitter because of how toxic it had become right before
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk. But then when Elon Musk boughted some of
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: his views about things and some of the things he
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: was willing to change. Started to bother me a little bit,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: but not enough to leave. I've been there since oh nine,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: It's tough to leave, right. But then when he decided
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the people who you have blocked and I only have
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: one person blocked, But the people you have blocked can
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: still see your tweets, and you can still see theirs
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: whether you want to or not, as a part of
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: your timeline and your feed. It just told me, oh,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: you're gonna make sure you force us to see these things,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: these messages. You don't want a ton of people on
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: your platform blocking Donald Trump blocking his followers, right, And
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: you try to say that for everybody. Oh well, toxic
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: guy over here, you don't want to be blocked either, right,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: So to me, just like, okay, well now is I
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: was already doing too much work to curate my timeline.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: This is too much work. I just want to be
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: around like minded people who like some of the same things,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: who start conversations, who put me onto things. I put
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: them onto things and hip hop Twitter was deaf good
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: for that. It was definitely good for debating and hot
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: takes and top tens and what you would and what
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't do. And I deactivated it, you know why,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: because it's just out of control and there's no reason
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: for me to even hang around because it's not an
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: experience that I'm enjoying the way I used to. I
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: almost WinCE as I open it up. And even the
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: self righteous people who believe like not me because I'm
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: such and such, they've left Twitter before and they've come
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: right back right because there's something about the toxicness they like.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I give props to the people who like I like
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: it around here wild and crazy, and I be getting
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: crazy too. I'm not talking about them because they could
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: do what they want. Anybody could do what they want.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like hip hop Twitter was a bad thing.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I just felt like there was. It became less organic,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: right The beefs became less organic, the interactions became less organic.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Some people are just looking to say a hot take
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: just so they can go back and forth with you.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: They may not even care about what they said, they
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: may not even know enough to even say what they're saying,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: but that's not their goal. Their goal is to have
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: a negative exchange with you, and they don't care if
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: they're the bad guy in it. Because all of it
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: leads to some form of engagement. Some people are married
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: to the amount of followers they have, so they don't
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: care what's happening, you know whatever, They'll pay for the check,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: they'll do everything. So I look at it this way.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: My choice was my choice, and it was a personal choice.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a choice that anybody could see unless I
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: told them. I like my time line to look a
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: certain way, and we were losing controls to do that.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: So therefore I'm on other platforms as Vegas World, I inc.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I don't need this one anymore. And it was tough.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I've been here a very long time, so I deactivated
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: my Twitter, but deactivating like those who know who deactivated
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Facebook for some of the same reasons. It's still there,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: it's just no one can see it and you can't tweet.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: But if I was to go and log in and
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, welcome back, would you like to reactivate
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: your account? I could do it tomorrow and it'd be
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: like I never left. But at the end of the day,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not that invested in those experiences to not just
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: go somewhere else where I'm having more fun, or it's
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: more of what I want to see, you know what,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I'm saying on my timeline and less of you know,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: crazy takes and and you know in political sparring and
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: battle and stuff like that, when I just really want
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: the information, like what album is that? Oh that's cool?
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Oh you think Ready Dow was? Why you think that?
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to be a discussion, right, And I'm
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: not saying that it can't happen on Twitter. It just
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: won't happen with me on Twitter. So some people will say, well,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: where are you, Well, I'm where I've always been in
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: other places. I follow technology, So I've been on a
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: lot of the platforms people are going to. Of course,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I'm on threads because I'm on Instagram, right. Instagram is
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: probably one of the other places where I post frequently
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: and I talk to people. I'm on TikTok, right, I
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: respond to stuff on there, but I kind of just
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: post there. And Blue Sky is the error parent to
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the Twitter of old, where a lot of people are
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you this much, I've been there. When they
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: reached ten million subscribers, they gave every user like an
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: image of what number they were when they joined Blue Sky,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: and then that was when they did the first ten million.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I was like sixteen thousand or something like that. So
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I was there early. I was there before you can
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: even post videos. You can even post videos on there,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: and it was invite only. But at the end of
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the day, what I liked about Blue Sky was it
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: kind of felt like Twitter. It just didn't have all
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: the relationships I had built on the Twitter platform. Well,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: now everybody's coming over the Blue Sky and my timeline
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: is totally different. It reminds me a lot of what
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: it was like when I first was on Twitter. So
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to battle with you and tell you
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: why and what and we people can leave, come go,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: keep going back whatever. We don't care. Righteous online guy.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: If you don't like it, get off all of it.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: But this is the world we live in. It just is.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I know people who ain't on nothing. They're like, what,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: that's why I'm not on that. OK. They ain't on nothing.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: They standing on business, They're not in the building, talk
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: about y'all. This should be better than here. Get out then,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: like I did, didn't really like what it was. I'm like,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: what am I waiting for? Bye bye? The end. So,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: of course, content is everywhere. I'm right here on YouTube,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I'm on podcasting feeds. I'm on Instagram, I'm on Facebook, TikTok,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: threads and all of that. But if you are like, yeah,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: but where do you really be? Like? I know you post,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: but where do you really be? Blue Sky and Instagram?
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: What do you feel about all this Twitter fiasco? People
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: leaving them? Getting one million new subscribers in like two
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: days is something crazy? Did you leave Twitter? Are you
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: on Blue Sky? Do you like threads? Are you on
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: ig or? Do you hang out in the dark wab
• 36:18
